1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

To understand the transport of pharmaceutical agents and their effects on developing fetus, we have created a placental microsystem that mimics structural phenotypes and physiological characteristic of a placental barrier. We have shown the formation of a continuous network of epithelial adherens junctions and endothelial cell-cell junctions confirming the integrity of the placental barrier. More importantly, the formation of elongated microvilli under dynamic flow condition is demonstrated. Fluid shear stress acts as a mechanical cue triggering the microvilli formation. Pharmaceutical agents were administered to the maternal channel, and the concentration of pharmaceutical agents in fetal channel for coculture and control models were evaluated. In fetal channel, the coculture model exhibited about 2.5 and 2.2% of the maternal initial concentration for naltrexone and 6β-naltrexol, respectively. In acellular model, fetal channel showed about 10.5 and 10.3% of the maternal initial concentration for naltrexone and 6β-naltrexol, respectively. Gene expressions of epithelial cells after direct administration of naltrexone and 6β-naltrexol to the maternal channel and endothelial cells after exposure due to transport through placental barrier are also reported.
